Geography Of My Bones
Olivia Diamond's poetry, like her life,
begins in the
very center of America and makes its way into a much
larger world. She has the range to bind her words in
classical poetic form and proves herself a master.
The geography of her poetry extends from the domestic to
the deeply spiritual. She writes with a gentle humorous
appreciation of the vagaries of day-to-day life, from
holding hands in a movie theater to an imagined
conversation between Marilyn Monroe and Dame Edith
Sitwell to roasting coffee in Saudi Arabia
Her poetical journey covers growing up in America’s
heartland to the Middle East. She expresses her
experiences in a variety of styles to suit her vision.
The inner and outer scenery she explores in her poems
evoke both laughter and pain; while her pungent, yet
tasty appraisal of humanity summon all five senses to
participate in the celebration.
PRICE: $22.95
